GLOBAL HERBICIDE MARKET EXPANSIONIn the second quarter of 2010, ACG was engaged by a leading West Coast chemical manufacturer to devise a global market entry strategy for their international expansion and distribution of herbicides, starting with the markets of Russia and the CIS. The manufacturer suspected that Russia’s rapidly developing agricultural sector had a growing demand for glyphosate, the world’s predominant herbicide and the main product offered by the Company. Due to our firm’s long-standing reputation in the market to help Western clients in entering the Russian market, ACG was solicited to determine the potential demand for a high-quality American-made glyphosate in that market.
After several months of in-depth interviews with leading industry experts and distributors, and careful examination of secondary sources, ACG presented a market research report to the Company’s management team. In the report, ACG provided a thorough analysis of the market size, trends, growth rate, competitive landscape, customer preferences, pricing, logistics, and Russia’s regulatory environment for glyphosate. ACG confirmed the manufacturer’s suspicions and concluded that the Russian market presented an excellent opportunity for American-made herbicides.

INTERNATIONAL EB-5 INVESTMENT PROGRAMACG is expanding its role as a boutique real estate advisory and investment consulting firm by developing a comprehensive program for international investors seeking an EB-5 immigrant investor visa to the U.S. The EB-5 visa allows individuals investing US$1 million into the U.S. economy to become U.S. permanent residents and, subsequently, U.S. citizens. Our firm’s service offering is a one-stop shop that helps the investor in every step of their journey, both literally and figuratively, providing not only the investment opportunity for an above-average risk adjusted rate of return, but also the ability to move their entire family to the safe haven of the United States. Our comprehensive solution covers all of the following:
Phase I. Information gathering and client interviews to help gauge the client’s interest and formulate a concrete set of investment criteria
Phase II. New entity formation in the U.S. with legal and administrative support
Phase III. Market monitoring (“Long List”) and identification of potential investment opportunities that match our clients’ criteria
Phase IV. Selection Process (“Short List”) during which we reduce the broad list of opportunities down to just a few options
Phase V. Due diligence of several of the top investment options
Phase VI. Negotiations with the sellers and execution of the purchase and sale agreement
Phase VII. Ongoing property management of the acquired asset or business
Phase VIII. Exit strategy execution to assist the client with eventual liquidation and monetization of the asset
Not only do we provide assistance with the selection process, brokerage, due diligence, and asset management aspects of the investment, but we can also assist the client with the filing of the necessary immigration paperwork. No other firm in the U.S. currently offers the same breadth and depth of services related to the EB-5 visa program.
The bottoming out of the market and historically low prices are making cash-rich foreign investors more interested than ever in investing in U.S. real estate and American companies of all sizes. Investors from BRIC countries may be able to secure higher rates of return by investing in their own economies, but few countries can match the long-term stability and safety offered by opportunities in the United States. The U.S. economy’s steady returns, low rate of inflation, relatively minor
currency fluctuations, stable political system, and transparent legal system are highly attractive for foreign investors looking for a conservative long-term investment vehicle.
Foreign investors are interested in permanent residency for a number of reasons. Some are interested in enrolling their children in the American education system. Others are seeking to expand their business network by basing themselves at the center of the world’s economy. Others yet are simply attracted to the American way of life and standard of living.
ACG has developed a comprehensive real estate investment manual, a deal book with numerous opportunities all across the U.S. in the range of $5 to $100 million, an investor tour program, and a unique service offering with compensation tied directly to the clients’ rate of return, that is unmatched in the industry.
